[ptp-dev] Fw: PTP java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: for com.sun.xml.inte

["David Wootton" <dwootton@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I realized I left out the link to the page that suggested using com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-osgi (http://www.descher.at/descher-vu/2019/01/java-11-jaxb-and-osgi/) to get the missing JAXB code.

Looking at this further, it seems that CDT has solved this or a similar problem
https://www.eclipse.org/lists/cdt-dev/msg33366.html
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=542644

I also found this, which suggests using com.sun.xml.bind:jaxb-osgi to get the missing JAXB code, where I found https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.sun.xml.bind/jaxb-osgi that seems to point to the location to get it from.
I don't know if this helps or is even possible to use in an eclipse.org-hosted project

I'm looking at this problem since it affects my plugin once Java 8 is no longer supported. I'm not sure I'm anywhere near on the right track to figure this out. I found quite a few references to this problem within the past year by Google search using the words ContextFactory and Eclipse, a number of which refer to PTP bug 541264

My understanding of the solutions suggested are to use versions 2.2.0 of the com.sun.xml.bind and javax.xml.bind, which I think means I need to find repositories that have these versions of the packages.

I tried updating the photon.target target definition file to use a later Orbit repository, I20190320195810 which seems to have these, but that did not help. I also found https://www.jesperdj.com/2018/09/30/jaxb-on-java-9-10-11-and-beyond/ which explains how to specify a dependency for a maven build, but I'm not sure where this gets specified.

Am I anywhere near the right track to figure this out?
